Actually, it doesn't, because this guy (a) isn't a climate scientist, (b) is 82 and not an active researcher, and (c) was already a known denier. barfo

He was a professor where? Is that a 4-year or a 2-year college? Is that the correspondence school I always see advertising its art lessons? So the old skull who was old in 1973 has gone senile and quit his science club to save on dues. He didn't quit a job, which would have cost him money. Big sacrifice compared to a real whistleblower. Did he quit to join the Flat Earth Society? Speaking of what his job is now, I bet the poor old stooping guy strongly believes in Social Security and Medicare. A real modern Republican hero.
